Fair question, you have made me stop and really think about it.
Originally I thought it is an entry level job meant for young people and retirees, the young ones should be aiming for something more than fast food. I realize I may be incredibly biased with my 54 day experience with a royal food joint who fired me because I am disabled close to 2 decades ago, so now if I want a whopper I have to make a hamburger with thousand island on it. Then I thought I was a member of PSAC and they have scholarships, had booger king had a union I could have benefited from that.
Then there was the whole inflation thing unions raise wages, making fast food more expensive which in turn makes all food more expensive. I was forgetting that raising tides raise all the ships making everyone’s wages go up.
Just because it is an entry level job does not mean they should be treated like peon’s.
I appreciate that you have rethought your initial stance, but the young and the old are arguably the two groups most likely to be taken advantage of, and the ones who should be highly unionised.
That’s fair, personal experience is highly temperamental to political thoughts like unionizing low-skill jobs. However, I’d like you to consider the single mothers trying to live on those wages. People have to survive on those wages, and those people likely have others relying on those wages as well. I sympathize with you, having been discriminated against for your protected status. I’d also like you to consider countries where people are paid living wages for low skill work. We all deserve better, and the best way to ensure better wages and better lives come from union fights.
